    Saw in the paper this morning that OHP is offering a free advanced training course. Link to article

    Link to OHPs website for course dates, locations, sign-up, etc. Courses start at 8 am, and you'll need to bring a sack lunch.

    It's a fun course. A few challenges in it for most riders. I'd recommend to everyone. And the price is right.

    They held another OHP saferiders class in Durant today. I took it twice year, so today I just went out and hung around for a while and took some photos. The class was very full and I heard a lot of positive comments from the people there.

    This course is fun, challenges most riders and is FREE. :deal
